This is Ginger, a beautiful Chocolate Lab, and she was The Perfect Dog. There are journaling tags inside the notebook cover page that tell just a few of the things that made Ginger the perfect dog. She lived a long life but died before any of us were ready to let her go.
Journaling:
If ever there was a perfect dog, Ginger was it. She had the sweetest, most gentle disposition and loved everyone - two or four-legged!
~ She once helped me rescue a very sick cat who would not let me approach. Ginger distracted him while I snuck up behind to wrap him in a blanket. As I drove to the vet's office, Ginger insisted on sitting beside the box on the backseat so she could comfort the cat. Sadly, the cat died the next day, but he died humanely because of Ginger's gentleness.
~ When Ginger wanted a treat, she would "ask" and when I said Okay, she'd open the basket and take just ONE!
~ Whenever she saw me putting on my shoes, she ran to the laundry room to pull her leash off its hook on the wall. She always wanted to go...anywhere!
~ Ginger always peed and pooped in a designated area in the back yard...always in her assigned spot.
~ She never left the front yard, even to greet the neighbors or their pets. The sidewalk was her border and she never crossed it without permission.
~ Ginger was completey attuned to every mood. I've never known another dog as fiercely loyal or as skilled in reading people. I wish I'd known about therapy dogs back then; she would have been perfect for that too.
~ Ginger was the best cuddler and liked to sleep with her head on my pillow. She didn't even snore!
~ Even though she did have people food once in a while, she didn't have bad breath!
~ She loved to be bathed and walked willingly into the tub or shower. She was always giddy afterwards!
~ She even liked going to the vet! She didn't balk when she saw the nail clippers or a needle.

Many years have passed, but people still talk about Ginger and what a Perfect Dog she was. My brother has a Black Lab and a Yellow Lab. Mac and Lucy are pretty close to perfect too!
